OK, show me the video of the meeting. I know a healthy Osama couldn't wait to show his mug again to the world.

[IronJack]

a secure, remote mountain lair ...

Remote, perhaps. But he of all people should know that there's no such thing as "secure."

[Young Rhino]

The attack will constitute overpowering the general public of a major metropolitan city with the stench associated with Islamic lack of hygiene.

Unfortunately, Osama will choose Paris as the city and no one will know the difference. He'll blend right in with the French.

[MizSterious]

"His priority is to use biological weapons,"

Hmmm. Has Hillary laundered that horrid pantsuit of hers yet? Could Osama be funding her presidential aspirations?

[COUNTrecount]

"He recently presided over the funeral of his daughter-in-

law, who died during childbirth. "

Not enough medical help to avert a death during childbirth

but enough know- how to destroy the US with bio-terrorism ?

Cave dwelling must be a bitch on the ability to think

realistically and rationally.

[Jackknife]

If this has any thread of truth,then I trust that our Special Ops will know quite a bit about his 'secure' location............

[EggsAckley]

How about this: we pinpoint what we think is his likely hideout, tell EVERYONE in the area that they must leave or be destroyed, and then flatten the area. Kind of like extermination.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Big talk for a dead man.

[chainsaw]

They said he is in good health

I thought Osama had to have dialysis every two or three days. Where is he getting the dialysis machine, and the blood to start it?

[Happy2BMe]

""We don't know where he is," said U.S. Army Col. Rodney Davis, a spokesman for the forces in Afghanistan. "And frankly, it's not about him. We'll continue to focus on killing, capturing and denying sanctuary to any anti-coalition forces."

But when we do find his maggot-infested arse, it's going straight to Gitmo!

[Imal]

He recently presided over the funeral of his daughter-in-law, who died during childbirth.

"I had enough riches to enjoy myself like an Arab sheik," bin Laden said at the funeral, according to an account given by his special bodyguard, Abu Hamza al Jazeeri.

"But I decided to fight against those infidel forces that want to sever us from our Islamic roots," he said, blaming America for the woman's death.

If this account is true, we can rest assured he isn't getting any less crazy over time.

I have been hearing all sorts of things about a coming "black wind" over America. None of this bodes well.

[Eala]

Alive and well, Osama bin Laden held a summit of terrorists in an Afghan mountain stronghold in the wake of the Iraq war to plot al Qaeda's next move - an attack using biological weapons that "will be unbelievable," a Taliban source claims in an alarming new report.

Yawn. Rafael Patai's excellent book "The Arab Mind" goes into some depth into the Arab perception of "truth," and guess what, it's not like ours.

a secure, remote mountain lair

Nothing's more secure and remote than 100 feet under stone and rubble.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

...the sources told Newsweek...

Probably "sources" inside the Howard Dean campaign.

"We don't know where he is," said U.S. Army Col. Rodney Davis, a spokesman for the forces in Afghanistan. "And frankly, it's not about him. We'll continue to focus on killing, capturing and denying sanctuary to any anti-coalition forces."

Translation: "we can't find him". Before we decide to go after anything else, we need to take care of loose ends like bin Laden. If, and I do mean if, he is still alive, we need to end this charade once and for all.

[old school]

Bullsh*t!

[Vinomori]

It is a measure of badly the CIA was allowed to decline under Bush 1 and Clinton that Saddam and Osama gleefully romp wherever and cannot be brought down. If these two are not brought in (or down) real soon it will also be a reflection on Bush2. It's a small world.

[The Great RJ]

People need to wake up--what Osama and the other Islamic fundamentists really want is an end to all western civilization. They see it as their holy duty to end Christianity and other religions, wipe out all traces of western culture and establish an Islamic theocracy world wide. Imagine yourself and your family living in a society like Iran.

It's more than terrorism it is a threat to our very civilization!

[Consort]

Bin Laden's three sons,...

[freekitty]

I think he is a pile of dust somewhere in those mountains.
